Entertaining in the English Countryside To put up a marquee tent is one thing for a party, but to take it to the next level with a personal touch is another. This is how the Brits do it – with bunting. A few other ideas…..hanging candles and glass balls from the trees. The inspiration in these images come from an anniversary/birthday party outside of London. Nautical Blue Glass Floats, White Hydrangeas, Tree decor. For bunting, you can DIY it (see below), or my go to Pippa. The Middleton family has a great online party store (Flag & Party Bunting.) My go-to, Cost Plus Worldmart has these eye-catching hand blown orbs, where you can also buy Mason Jars in bulk. DIY “No Sew” Bunting * Fabrics…..go to Joanne’s * Scissors * Pen * Stitch witch or hem tape * a hair straightening iron * a tape measure * Twine, or something to hang your flags (I like the cotton twine pictured from WeddingStar in all colors.) Here is a simple tutorial with images from Delightfully Tacky. Here we are getting ready for the party!!
